Juelz Santana has been teasing a new album for almost a year, and now the Dipset rapper has explained why it hasn’t arrived yet.
On Saturday (December 16), Santana posted a mea culpa on Instagram saying that the long-awaited project wasn’t ready because he “had some demons I still been fighting.”

Juelz further explained that his upcoming project is an independent release, “so all I really have is social media to [promote].” He added that “with the algorithm u don’t even reach y’all full audience.”

Juelz Santana teased the upcoming project back in April when he took to Instagram to offer fans a glimpse of what his Gangsta Grillz tape with DJ Drama could look like.
The potential tracklist, shown on a whiteboard, boasted several star-studded features including from Lil Wayne, Meek Mill, Jim Jones, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Dej Loaf.
Several months prior to that, the Harlem native opened up about a track he has with fellow New Yorker Jadakiss.
“Yo, I’m telling you right now, me and my man Jada got a fucking banger you heard,” he said in an Instagram video. “Yo, Flex all that muthafucking what New York sound like shit, this is what New York sound like. I guarantee you this is what New York sound like. We got what New York sound like.”

Santana’s last project, #FreeSantana, arrived in 2020, while it’s been almost 20 years fans received a studio album (2005’s What the Game’s Been Missing!).
